Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 banana, mashed
2 large eggs plus 2 egg whites
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A pinch of cinnamon
A pinch of salt
2 teaspoons chia seeds
Butter, for the pan
Fresh berries and syrup, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the banana, eggs, egg whites, oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth. Stir in the chia seeds.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter to coat. Add 1/4 cupfuls of the batter to the pan to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Top with berries and syrup.
